Universal Salvation through Christ is the scripture truth.

Faith Alone Salvation through Christ is the scripture truth.

Once Saved Always Saved Salvation through Christ is the scripture truth.
Ephesians 4:30 the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Jeff Sanders says ”I am a pre-Augustine Christian and follow after those who were closest to the beginning of the church.”
It's interesting how some Catholics worship Augustine and some Protestants from the Reformed tradition also worship Augustine. And there's both Catholics and Protestants who believe in Eternal Conscious Torment. For me, there's this general notion of, the longer it's been since Christ was on Earth, the more corrupted church doctrines become and the more they deviate from the truth. Like all these church denominations that emerged recently like Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Lordship Salvationists who promote false works salvations like water baptism, charity work, etc.
It's like a game of telephone, Chinese whispers, transmission chain experiments. The first person says something than the next person who hears it might miss something and this keeps going until the final message is completely different from what the first person said.
John 8:24 I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins.”
With Universal Salvation through Christ, it was right there at the beginning. Truth in it's purest form. Same thing with salvation through faith alone Early Christians made poetry praising Universal Reconciliation and the Early Church fathers wrote papers showing it's true.
Thus, the best way to find the truth is to look at it directly. Rather than looking simply at the English translations of the Old Testament and New Testament, we should look at the original meaning of the Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek words from the original scriptures in order to get information from the source.
JEREMIAH 32:27, 32, 37, 40 I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me
Academically, it’s like getting information by reading the source, instead of reading information you got from a news article that talked about the source. Because each stage of the transmission process loses information.
JEREMIAH 31:34 No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, "Know the Lord," because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.
In Photoshop, if I keep resizing a file, it will keep losing its data and eventually, even when I try to resize it back to its original size, it’s noticeably blurrier (That’s why newer versions of Photoshop added a check mark feature for you to confirm whether you want to resize it or not]
JOEL 2:28, 3:21 And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people ... Their bloodguilt which I have not pardoned, I will pardon.
